Many grammatical constructions in Japanese can be written with either kanji or kana. When should you use the kanji form, and when should you use the kana form? This is a complex question even for native speakers, and is the subject of several books, so there is no 'right and wrong'. However, there are several conventions.
Some constructions are conventionally written in kanji wherever they appear.
Conversely, some constructions are conventionally written in kana.
As a general rule, most 'auxiliary forms' - forms where a verb or word that can be used independently is added to another word to change its meaning - are written with kana. For example, てはいけない (must not do) is preferable to ては行けない, てみる is preferable to て見る, and 小さいとき is preferable to 小さい時. Some exceptions to this include 〜た上で and 〜た中.
Some constructions are written in kanji when they appear in certain forms, and kana when they appear in others. For example, (depending) is often written in kanji when used as a noun (eg ), and in kana when used as a suffix (eg
かれ
しだい).
Some constructions are commonly written in both ways, and the choice depends on desired impact. Writing in kanji (sometimes called in Japanese) can have a more official, formal tone, whereas writing in kana (sometimes called ) can be softer.
